Within 30 seconds, sold 1, and before I went to raid had sold 4. Sadly got undercut doing the raid, but have since reposted for ~2350/ea, so still making nearly 1k on them if they sell by tomorrow.

And crafted pvp chest/legs still selling rather well, mats are ~100-140g, both sell for 800-1200 depending on the day.

SUPER RARE! Will never be able to do that event again. If you ahve one..NEVER sell it or Sell it at a very high rate! Once IH ave all my toon back to 90, lvling my toons is the most fun in the game for me, I will be doing some of this silly shiat like farming, pet battles etc....

If it makes anyone feel better I sold an Ace of Serpents for a paltry 5k when I thought it was for the healer deck. I now have a post-it note on my screen with CRANE = HEALER, SERPENTS = CASTER in big, bold letters.

Where do I get the buckle?!?!?!?!

I believe you get the plans for them from being exalted with the lorewalkers. Takes about 2 hours or less to hit exalted, if you use a guide. (wowhead has one somewhere)

An update: so far made about 150k or so since MoP launched, with no prep work before it hit, and casually playing the AH between dailies & raids.

Does Living Steel have a Spirit of Harmony option that ignores the once a day cooldown? I know a lot of the other professions have that in their bottlenecks (or at least JC/tailoring do.)

If that's the case, and you've also managed to open all 16 plots for farmville, you can collect 11.2 full Spirits per week without ever having to kill a mob. Meaning eventually the prices will come down a bit. Of course, if they change Spirits to no longer be BoP, then that will also drop prices (again, assuming there is a SoH option for Living Steel.)

The whole problem with the living steel transmute is that there are too many people that work for free, at least on my server. I've routinely seen in trade "selling living steel transmute, 100G" or less, much like it was with truegold. Now some of these folk are saving the extra bars from a proc, but others are just kind free spirits that don't want to profit off their fellow gnome.

And unlike Cata, there's not another transmute that takes shares the cooldown and takes a bit more work to do, which was quite profitable.

Given that cauldrons are gone, I might respec from Transmute on at least one of my alchemists.

Our transmutes still go for about 250-300g for transmute spec alchemist, but living steel itself dropped from 2k down to 800g in the last couple of days. Granted, I am making more money now selling belt buckles for 1k than I was when I was selling them for 2200g. That high price tag really scared quite a few people away.

I can also save a little bit more using the Ghost Iron to Trillium transmute (especially since there is no cooldown) rather than buying the trillium outright for the Living Steel transmute.

How are leg armors selling on your servers? On my server it's listed as an outrageous 4k or above. The thing is that I have spent all the SoH collected on BS recipes like belt buckles and pvp gear and temporarily can't make a profit out of the high price.
